Puffer

[Futurekitmiller]

My fiancé wants a freshwater puffer. Would it get along with my African claw frog?

Definitely not -- most puffers are best in a species-only tank . You could get a 5 gal and do a dwarf puffer though so it's not a huge purchase thankfully.

What gets along with the frog?

What gets along with the frog?

What size tank? I've never actually had them before but from what I understand they are also best in a species-only tank due to their aggression. Multiple ACF would require a pretty decently sized tank though.

29 gallons

The frog was the fiances idea btw lol

So basically I have a frog that won't get along with anything? Lol. Gotta love being almost married

I've heard they can eat fish? It's those claws man lol maybe get a separate tank for it? Not sure what size tank they need... I dunno much about ACF but fish like hatchets usually stay right at the top of the water. I dunno how much frogs come to the top...

I read where these things eat anything they can fit in their mouth. The reason he wanted it was for the color. I think he has fish/frog add lol. I'm thinking we are gonna have to buy a tank for this thing
